    Just to clarify I never get headaches, migranes, etc - I never have done, either through normal daily life or as the result of alcohol/etc. For once I am not complaining about being odd in that sense - they sound most uncomfortable experiences! :eek: And what is cotton mouth? Could you elabortate on what the symptoms are - it is possible I just haven't heard that name used before.

I actually did try out my "unplugging the modem" idea last night, which is why the Internet was not used by anyone prior to me sobering up uberfast as a result of the whole accident effect. But yeah it is surprisingly hard to make that sort connection on so many things when you are heavily under the influence. If you find a cure be sure to let the world know wont you!

I can't say I've ever experienced that either as far as I remember, though I have always made it a habbit to drink litres and litres of water alongside any alcohol not consumed with a meal to stop what is presumably very similar to what you are talking about (a recomendation of my sister that I have never had the urge to kick).

          took me about 2 days to get rid of it once (unfortunately we lived in a rather smallish South African town at the time of our stag / hen parties, and our "friends" ensured that the two parties met up at one of the pubs) http://www.polymorph.co.za/batchelors/bondage.jpg[^] That should say it all :-O

                No drink, no hangover. :-D On the other hand, I was up really late last night, so it was a real pain to wake up this morning. And then I was hungry at church because all I had for breakfast was one bowl of cereal. Norm Almond: I seen some GUI's in my life but WTF is this mess ;-) Leppie: I made an app for my sister and she wouldnt use it till it was colorful enough:) Norm:good point leppie, from that statement I can only deduce that this GUI must be aimed at children:laugh: Leppie:My sister is 25:eek: -Norm on the MailMagic GUI

                          That sounds like a wonderful idea! :) Oh damnit though, we don't have beach houses over here on account they'd probably be washed away and/or the fact the weather is usually far from beachworthy. :((

                                      why yes :) i spent all weekend at an annual party called "DrunkFest". a bunch of people rent a beach house for the sole purpose of drinking too much. i believe the 15 or so of us finished a case of wine and, i think, 8 cases of beer. and.. um some other things. today is a bit fuzzy. -c
